Enable Word Limits in Text Fields

Description - We have a need to show and enforce a word limit at the custom form level on text fields. The use case for this is an automation we are building to send a content fragment (e.g., a paragraph) to another system (e.g., Seismic) for input into a piece of content (e.g., a PowerPoint)

 

Why is this feature important to you - This will enable the automations we are building between Workfront and other systems to assemble pieces of content with limited manual input. Without a word limit, users who are unaware of the limit will have to spend time rewriting content, which hinders the efficiency we are trying to create.

 

How would you like the feature to work - As stated in description.

 

Current Behaviour - No word limit is shown or enforced anywhere in Workfront to my understanding.

1000X YES! How hard can this be, love all "AI" enhancements.... but can we please just start with a wordcount?

Agreed, this would be a very valuable feature and save our marketing teams a significant amount of manual effort and planning in ensuring their content fits their templates at the onset.

Yes! This is the #1 complaint I hear from all the marketing teams I work with who utilize Workfront. Would be a huge value add if we could get this feature.

Word / character limit feels like a pretty easy add - agree with others would be useful. Lets make it happen!
